If you use signs instead of ladders, you won't risk the chance of falling on the ladder and hurting yourself anyway. This makes 1-block water-breaks more viable, rather than the 2x2 you made. Efficiency! :eng101:

This is a trick to get 1.8 pre-release terraingen working with old maps. I imagine this won't be necessary for the official release.

So I tried using this to find slimes in my world, except it doesn't seem to work for me - it doesn't give me the map. Does it work for anyone else? If not, does anybody know of a similar thing that I can use?

Make sure you put something in the coordinate boundaries area.

I do! That's the problem. I put in my seed, my coordinates, and then it just says "Slime Map" rather than giving me an image.

Edit: my seed is -2013027974 and my coordinate boundaries are x -400 to -300 and z 220 to 320.

The last one is only if you install mods.

Otherwise, redstone circuits enable you to set up combination locks, order-sensitive locks, etc. Just go to youtube and look for something that sparks your interest.

This is nice, but I wish the cameraman hadn't been the one who spends like ten solid minutes just chopping trees down before doing anything.
Also, for a race, they sure seem to be taking their time. Why they have the preoccupation with wood when diamond blocks are scattered for the taking is beyond me, and while I can understand not being able to cheat (e.g. riding the waterfall down past the mob-spawning hollow at the end to get to the wool) they sure seemed to be putting some things off.

All members of the teams (should) have videos of their own pov: check the description of the video for each person's channel. If one cameraman bores you, try another!

So I just covered an entire town in the mushroom spore dirt blocks, under the impression that monsters would not spawn on them. However, waiting out the night and wandering around town, there were still monsters spawning on the sporedirt. Did it get changed for 1.0?

In my opinion, pigs are basically obsolete now. With both cows and chickens providing meat in addition to their usual items, that heal equal (chicken) or better (steak) than porkchops, I hardly bother with breeding them.

If it's long grass, you can collect it with shears! Then you can plant it again. Totally pointless, really.

You can also just use bonemeal on normal grass and it will sprout long grass (and a flower or two, sometimes).

Edit: Derp, didn't see the post above that says literally the same thing. More content:

I generally don't mind the hunger bar. I don't play on hard, and on normal the decay is at a pretty decent rate - enough that you have to mind it sometimes, but not so much that you can't manage it without a massive farm. It allows me to make tinier, personal farms, which are more aesthetically pleasing for me anyway :3:

Many servers use Bukkit to either utilize a whitelist or a plugin to track who destroys what - this way, they can rollback if griefing happens and ban the person responsible. The servers in PGS are of all sorts, so take a look and see what you like!

Yes. But given that 2000x2000 is quite a large area, it's more a question of practicality than anything else.

I got an odd question. I'm fixing up a desert town and turning the buildings into colorful tents because I hate the yellow on yellow on yellow look. But I can't figure out what would make a good 'path' around the town. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

I'm a fan of 'reclined' roads where it's stairs at the side plus a half-block (or two, or three) in the middle. If you're using a desert town, try clay bricks!

You immediately made me think of one season of the Hardcore Minecraft. IIRC, one of the guys just peaked around a corner, and was shot dead to the single pixel he exposed. Skeletons should really be less effective.

Meanwhile, in one of VintageBeef's latest videos, he got shot by a skeleton like 5 times with each arrow bouncing off of him before he finally took some damage.

It's even worse when you're playing on a server and despite the sign that right there says "These are not your cows, please do not kill" you keep logging on to find your cow-pen empty.

I thought that was the whole point of multiplayer - To take from others so you don't have to go do all the work yourself.

Which reminds me, I should go look for a new vanilla server to play on one of these days.

Which is fine, but surely the common sense is to kill a few, so that the cows can be re-bred, rather than completely obliterating the pen.

There's a (multiplayer) mod out there called Disguise or something that let's you go around as a mob. Or there was, at any rate - I'm not sure if it's up to date, seeing as how I don't know exactly what it's called.

Here's a story for y'all. I've been playing on this one server for a while, getting kinda back in the groove after a long-rear end break from Minecraft. With some ideas for a village after finding a really nice location, I started working. So up until like...an hour and a half ago, this was my progress. (Map render, so apologies for the lack of detail. It obviously looks better ingame)



Having buddied up to a few of the GM's, I asked one of them to voxel-sniper some unsightly floating clumps away. Unfortunately, he had been working on a big project before, so his brush size was still set to 200. So rather than cutting a few floating blocks away, he cut a hole in the server that encompassed my town and just about the entire mountain area it was in, leaving only the void.

It'll be rolled back eventually, once the technical admin gets on, but boy, that took the wind out of me for a moment.

EDIT; Guess I was wrong! I talked to said admin, he says he can't roll back the server because of the way voxelsniper does things. So everything is gone forever. Oh well.

It's this thing, I think: Dynmap. Not just a map render, but an almost-realtime map of your server that shows people walking around and stuff.
